In the social media wars, Bluesky is destroying Truth Social In November 2024, Bluesky surpassed Truth Social’s monthly users. That’s a major win for one app, and a death knell for the other.

In nonprofit fundraising, storytelling is everything. But here’s the twist: it’s not your organization that should be the heroβ€”your donor is the real champion of your story. When you make them the protagonist, your appeals become more personal, powerful, and impactful.

Impostor syndrome: β€œI don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."

Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."

The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

When it comes to nonprofit fundraising, the adage β€œa bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” rings true.

Donor retentionβ€”building strong relationships with supportersβ€”is more impactful than seeking new donors. When needed, word-of-mouth referrals from engaged donors can be transformative.

The new year is right around the corner and it's the perfect time to connect with your amazing donors.

Drop them a friendly note to say thanks, share a heartfelt story about your impact this year, and give a teaser of the exciting things on deck for 2025 that they can be part of.

This is so spot on! When you put gratitude first, everything else falls into place. Love the idea of thanking twice as much as asking - such a simple but powerful way to build real connections. πŸ™Œβ€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹β€‹

Stuck in a branding rut?

Grab coffee with your supporters and just listen. They'll tell you exactly what makes your org special.

Sometimes the best ideas come from random convos.

Strong branding helps nonprofits build trust, attract donors, and communicate their mission clearly. It creates emotional connections, making people more likely to support the cause. A distinct brand identity also helps stand out in a crowded charitable landscape.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
